[nagdu] Writing a blog

[Darla]

Oh Brett what a gorgeous GSD you have; I am very partial to the sable
coloring.

I get tired of answering the public's questions, sometimes, especially when
it is something it shouldn't take a rocket scientist to figure out.  <grin>

Of course, they let those dogs out of those schools just to go eat up the
public, didn't ya know?  <bigger grin>

Darla & Happy Huck

Yes, Yes!! People can be so funny! My Ziva is a long coat sable GSD so I get
the "is that a wolf?" or "look it's a police dog!" When I get asked if she
bites, I tell them only if I give her the command and that word is "Kiss" so
would you like a "kiss" from Ziva? And Buddy you are right, there is no
better feeling than when people don't realize your Guide is there.

that's the highest compliment I and my dog can be paid. If you didn't see
him, he's doing a really good job of staying unobtrusively out of the way.
